The battery turned out to be quite compact
A power bank that clings firmly to the back of an iPhone and delivers energy wirelessly at nearly the same wattage as a cable might sound like a marketing gimmick. However, that’s exactly what you get with the Baseus PicoGo AM52 power bank, and it’s arriving in Russia any day now. This new product will be especially useful for those who have already installed the fresh iOS 27 beta and noticed how rapidly the battery drains. A spare 10,000 mAh in your pocket definitely won’t go to waste in that scenario.
The Baseus name has been well-known for a while: chargers, cables, and other small accessories from this brand are firmly established on domestic marketplace shelves. This time, the company is bringing us a new magnetic battery pack designed for iPhone owners. Sales launch on June 19 on Ozon.
Baseus PicoGo AM52: size, weight, and MagSafe
The key advantage of the PicoGo AM52 is that it doesn’t look like a hefty brick. The body thickness is just 16 mm, dimensions are 6.6 x 10.31 x 1.6 cm, and weight is 204 grams. For a 10,000 mAh battery, that’s genuinely modest. The device easily fits in a jeans pocket alongside your phone without pulling them down.
The battery is small and easy to take with you
The body is made of silicone and aluminum alloy in a black colorway. Under the cover hide 16 magnets with a holding force of 13 N. In practice, this means the power bank doesn’t slide off the iPhone, even when you pull the phone from your pocket or type a message on the go. Attach it to the back panel and forget about it: the smartphone charges up while your hands stay free.
The manufacturer particularly emphasizes the triple cooling system and temperature control: according to Baseus, the body doesn’t heat up above 38°C. It might seem trivial, but excessive heat traditionally slows down wireless charging speeds and frustrates users. The box also includes a short 30 cm USB-C cable in case you don’t want to use the wireless option.
Qi2.2 charging at 25W: what it means for iPhone owners
The most interesting part here is the supported protocol. The PicoGo AM52 is certified under the Qi2.2 standard, the newest wireless charging format. It delivers up to 25W wirelessly, and compared to older power banks that barely handled 7.5–15W, this is a significant leap.
A bit of backstory. Wireless iPhone charging was stuck at modest speeds for a long time, and magnetic batteries were seen more as a nice-to-have than a wall outlet replacement. Qi2.2 changes the game: according to the manufacturer’s own tests, the iPhone 17 Pro Max reaches 50% in 34 minutes without a cable.

And if you want maximum speed, the battery has a USB-C port with peak output of up to 45W. With a cable, the iPhone 17 Pro Max reaches 65% in thirty minutes. That’s full-fledged fast charging — enough even for an undemanding laptop or tablet. Charging the battery itself is also quite good: the power bank charges at 30W. And one more thing: the AM52 can power two gadgets simultaneously — one via the magnet, the other via cable.
PicoGo AM52 compatibility: which iPhones and devices are supported
There’s a significant detail here that’s best to know in advance. Full 25W via Qi2.2 is available exclusively on iPhone 16 and 17, and only when the device is running iOS 26. Devices from iPhone 12 through 15 receive 15W via MagSafe — still decent, but not jaw-dropping.
You can even charge older Android smartphones via cable
Wired coverage is broader. iPhone 17 accepts up to 40W, iPhone Air, 16, 15, and 14 — up to 27W. Tablets weren’t forgotten either: iPad mini, Air, and Pro charge via cable at the same 27W. The result is an accessory that can charge all your Apple gear at decent speeds.
You can also charge Android smartphones with it. Wirelessly, this works with Google Pixel 10 Pro XL (up to 25W), as well as Pixel 8 and 9 (up to 12W). Via cable, Samsung Galaxy S22–S25 devices receive an impressive 45W. AirPods weren’t forgotten either — you can connect them to MagSafe and get 5W. More than enough for earbuds.
Baseus PicoGo AM52: price and sales launch in Russia
A great solution for summer so it won’t weigh down your shorts
Official sales in Russia open on June 19 on Ozon at a price of 4,899 rubles. Among the advantages — Baseus provides a two-year warranty with device replacement and a package of Qi2.2, FCC, CE, UL, ROHS, and UN38.3 certifications. The last one is especially valuable: it confirms that the battery is safe to carry on board an airplane.
The bottom line is quite simple. If you have an iPhone 16 or 17 and cables have worn you out, the PicoGo AM52 is one of the most tempting offerings of early summer: slim, sufficiently fast both wired and wirelessly, and with quality magnets. If your phone is older, you can’t count on 25W — but 15W wirelessly and 45W via cable still make it a versatile portable battery.
